Understanding Jamaica's Import Regulations

Age and Type Regulations for Vehicles Jamaica allows the importation of used vehicles with specific age limits to ensure quality and safety standards:

  • Cars and Motorcycles: Maximum 5 years old.
  • Pickups: Maximum 6 years old.
  • Heavy-duty vehicles like trucks: Maximum 30 years old, depending on their loading capacity.
  • Buses: Age varies by seating capacity, with a maximum of 20 years for those with 45 seats or more.

Shipping and Inspection Vehicles are shipped primarily through Kingston port with a shipping time ranging from 24 to 34 days via RoRo services. Before shipment, all used vehicles must undergo a pre-shipment inspection by JAAI or JEVIC to meet the Road Worthiness standards set by the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS).

Customs and Documentation Upon arrival in Jamaica, the following documents are essential for clearing your vehicle:

  • Import License from the Trade Board Ltd.
  • Document of Title and a Bill of Lading.
  • Import Entry and Invoice detailing the purchase.
  • Tax Compliance Certificate and Taxpayer Registration Number.
  • Environmental Levy compliance documents for environmental safety.

Taxation on Imported Vehicles Importing a vehicle into Jamaica involves various taxes to comply with local fiscal policies:

  • Import Duty: 10%-20%, depending on the vehicle type.
  • General Consumption Tax (GCT): 17.5% on all used vehicles.
  • Special Consumption Tax (SCT) and Common External Tariff (CET) also apply, varying by vehicle type and product.
